DepEd to conduct mall exhibit tour for K to 12 program awareness

Posted by Reyn Adonay on 7/19/2012 06:03:00 PM



The Department of Education will hold a series of interactive exhibits in different malls in the country to raise awareness about its K to 12 basic education curriculum reform program.


Dubbed as "GO! Education (Greater Opportunities! Education)," the tour will kick off at The Block Atrium Activity Center in SM North EDSA on July 27.


DepEd has partnered with the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), United States Agency International Development (USAID) and the Philippine Business for Education (PBED).


The exhibit will also be held at SM malls in Pampanga, Pangasinan, Iloilo, Cebu and Davao.


"With the interactive exhibit, we hope the public would understand how our GO! Education program could help provide solutions to increase the competency of our public school teachers, improve our basic education curriculum to be at par with global standards and build more classrooms and other learning facilities with the help of both public and private partners,” said Secretary of Education Br. Armin A. Luistro FSC.


The "GO! Education" campaign will have three "ambassadors" to serve as spokesperson of the three components of the programs:

  • "Go! Teachers!" - tackles the problems, existing policies and solutions to produce highly competent teachers
  • "Go! K to 12!" - offers a look at the new basic education curriculum and what it aims to achieve
  • "Go! Classroom!" - talks about addressing the problem of classroom shortages.
